John,
I'm so glad you recieved this reward, I know me and a couple other BAE alumni were in the process of drafting up nominations for you. You help make FIRST better for all those involved. You kept Merrimack alive when there was no other place to get sponsorship from. You have kept all those NH teams alive with more sponsorships. You have been a friend, mentor, and hero to all those involved from Nashua and Merrimack. Thank you for always being there for me, FIRST would not be the same without you and neither would my life nor anyone else you have inspired. You have taught me to be a better person and you taught invaluable life skills, you give each and every kid a chance. Thanks was always in order for you, and now I'm so proud to see you recieve this honor. Keep teaching, inspiring, and being a friend to all those who cross your path, I will see you at the BAE Regional!!!
